Housing Resources

There are no on-campus housing options for graduate students and postdocs.

Purdue’s Off Campus Student Services (OCSS) provides guidance on finding housing, understanding leases, setting budgets, and connecting with local landlords. Postdocs can also access roommate tools, rental pricing reports, and consumer information to support a smooth transition to the Greater Lafayette community.
